Description

Closed porous ceramic composite material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation technology of a lithium battery, in particular to a preparation method and application of a closed porous ceramic composite material.
Background
Along with the rise of smart phones, smart cars and new energy cars in recent years, more and more mobile devices become data acquisition points and integration points of big data, the Internet of things and the like. The mobile equipment has the advantages that the running speed is higher and higher, the energy consumption is higher and higher, and the mobile equipment is portable and multifunctional along with the improvement of the physical life of people when the energy is provided for the mobile terminal. Taking a mobile phone as an example, a smart phone has replaced a home television to become the first screen of people's life. With the intellectualization and the electromotion of automobiles in the future, the intelligent automobile can possibly become a second screen of daily life of people. Similarly, lithium ion secondary batteries are also being developed for weight reduction, high capacity, rapid charge/discharge, and safety. However, the lithium batteries currently used are all polymer lithium ion batteries (i.e., lithium ion batteries using polymer components in the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the lithium battery), and liquid electrolytes are generally used. The lithium battery faces the following problems in the process of thinning.
One is insufficient rigidity of the battery. The light and thin lithium battery can only be served by a soft package battery usually, the common steel shell battery and 18650 type cylindrical battery (the diameter is 18mm, and the use thickness of the battery) are gradually replaced by the soft package battery due to large volume, low energy density and the like, but the soft package battery is prepared by winding a positive plate, an isolation film and a negative plate, no other binding structures exist among the positive plate, the battery is soft in the use process, the positive and negative plates can slide relatively, and when no negative/positive active substance exists at the corresponding position of the positive/negative plates, serious safety risk can be caused, so that the use safety is influenced.
Secondly, the lithium ion channel is incomplete due to insufficient carrying capacity of the diaphragm, the diaphragm is a film formed by drawing/pre-forming holes on composite films such as polyethylene, polyethylene/polypropylene and the like, the thickness of the film is usually only about 10 mu m, and the surface tension of the polyethylene solid is 31 xl 0-5N/cm, poor wettability to organic solvent components in the electrolyte, resulting in that the liquid electrolyte cannot sufficiently wet the separator despite the injection of the liquid electrolyte into the lithium ion battery, and it can be known from the working principle of the chemical battery that the separator, which is not actually wetted, blocks a part of lithium ions from passing in and out of the passages of the positive and negative electrodes, resulting in unsatisfactory charge and discharge performance, high and low temperature performance, and cycle performance of the lithium ion battery.
And thirdly, the fragile membrane has safety risk, the thickness of the membrane is usually between 6 and 20 mu m, and the processing process of the membrane is usually dry stretching and dry calendering plus leaching pore-forming process. The prepared diaphragm has certain processing stress (stretching, cutting, winding/unwinding and the like), can shrink again in the using process to eliminate the processing stress, and shrinks more obviously when the temperature rises, so that the internal short circuit of the lithium battery can be caused under the condition of accidental abuse to cause serious safety accidents.
Various solutions are proposed by many experts aiming at the above situation, one of the solutions is an all-solid-state lithium ion secondary battery, namely, a solvent component with low molecular weight in a leaked electrolyte is eliminated, and actually, the all-solid-state lithium ion battery is too expensive and inferior to a liquid electrolyte lithium battery in performance under the current technical conditions, so that some lithium ion battery manufacturing technologies with low price, easy availability and reliable safety performance are urgently needed, and the method belongs to active protection. Another method is to add external Protection (PID)/(CID), Vent, etc., i.e., monitoring, diagnosis, isolation and protection of the battery in an accident situation by an external protection/management system (BMS), which is mainly passive protection.
From the above analysis, many structures of the lithium battery need to be solved from the positive plate, the negative plate and the diaphragm, and the diaphragm between the positive plate and the negative plate is the key to solve the problem.
Many publications and patent documents have proposed methods for improving the safety and service properties of lithium ion batteries by means of membrane structures.

Example 8SEM analysis
The separators of example 2, example 3, comparative example 2 and comparative example 3 were subjected to electron microscope analysis at a magnification of 20000 times to obtain the results of FIGS. 1-a to 1-d.
As can be seen from the drawings 1-a and 1-b, the surfaces of the embodiment 2 and the embodiment 3 are covered with a layer of ceramic powder, the size of the powder is uniform, the particle size of the prepared ceramic powder composition is 1-3 μm, meanwhile, as can be seen from the drawings 1-a and 1-b, part of the powder is slightly bonded in an electron microscope to form a state similar to 2-time particles, but the bonding degree is relatively light, the particle size of the aggregate is less than or equal to 5 μm, and simultaneously, as can be seen from the drawings 1-c, the comparative example 2 is a diaphragm prepared by a dry method, the pores are generated in a stretching state, the local part of the diaphragm is in a non-porous continuous state, the generated pores are elliptical micropores, and the forming directions of the pores are consistent. As can be seen from fig. 1-d, comparative example 3 was prepared by wet extraction, and the pores were in a disordered state, and the pore size was smaller than that of the dry method, and the pore distribution was more uniform.
Example 9 shrinkage testing
The coated release films prepared in examples 1 and 5, the uncoated release film in comparative examples 1 and 5 and the uncoated release film in comparative examples 7-2 were unwound for 2m, then a square sample of 48cm (reel direction) by 32.5cm (unwinding direction) was punched in the unwinding direction, and then the square sample was placed flat in an oven and subjected to baking tests at 60 ℃ ± 2 ℃/36h and 110 ℃ ± 2 ℃/1, and after the baking was finished, the sample was taken out and the lengths of the sample in the unwinding direction and the axial direction were remeasured, and the results in table 3 were obtained.
TABLE 3 results of heat shrinkage test of examples
Figure BDA0001707031720000181
Figure BDA0001707031720000191
As can be seen from table 3, with respect to the prepared separator, the baking shrinkage rate at 60 ℃, the coated separators (examples 1, 5 and comparative examples 7-2) were slightly smaller than the uncoated separators (comparative examples 1, 5) but were substantially in the same order of magnitude (within 5%). However, when the temperature was increased to 110 ℃, the shrinkage of the coated separator was within 10%, but the shrinkage of the uncoated separator was 35% or more, and it can be seen from table 3 that the shrinkage of the wet separators (example 1, comparative example 1) was slightly less than that of the dry separators (example 5, comparative example 5) at 60 ℃, mainly because the dry separators were prepared by a film stretching method, internal stress was concentrated in the separators, and when the temperature was increased, molecular movement in the polymer chain was increased, resulting in release of the internal stress and greater shrinkage. As can be seen from table 3, the porous ceramic separator prepared by the present invention does not substantially shrink at high temperature (the same is true for comparative examples 7-2), which greatly increases the safety of the lithium ion battery during the preparation and use of the lithium ion battery, and at the same time, since the separator contains the polymer compounds (polyvinylidene fluoride polymers and copolymers) capable of absorbing the electrolyte and swelling after long-term soaking, it is possible to interact with and adhere to the polymer compounds of the same composition in the electrode sheet, thereby reducing the slip between the sheets and accordingly improving the "hardness" of the lithium ion battery.
Example 10 porosity
The porosity and pore size distribution of the separators prepared in example 5, example 6, comparative example 5 and comparative example 6 were measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry, and the results shown in fig. 2 were obtained.
As can be seen from fig. 2, comparative example 5 is a dry three-layer separator, which has a large pore size and a wide distribution, and after porous ceramic coating, the pore size of example 5 is reduced and the pore size distribution is slightly concentrated, which actually shows the pore size distribution of the porous ceramic coating loaded on the polymer separator, and a small number of small peaks appear in the small pore size region, and the radius of lithium ions is usually 0.076nm, and the pore size corresponding to the small peaks can also ensure that lithium ions freely pass through the barrier film coating. Similarly, for example 6, the porous ceramic coating changes the narrow pore size distribution of the original wet-process separator, the pore size distribution range is enlarged, the porous ceramic coating is basically similar to that of example 5, the pore size distribution characteristics of the porous ceramic coating are all reflected, and the wide pore size distribution is also beneficial to the electrolyte absorption capacity of the separation membrane, so that the coating of the example can meet the use requirements of the lithium ion battery.
EXAMPLE 11 wetting Angle
The separators of example 5, example 6 and comparative example 5, comparative example 6 and comparative example 7-2 were cut into small pieces and placed on an electron microscope stage using an electron microscope, the electrolyte was dropped on the separator under magnification after the electrolyte was absorbed by a pick-up card, and the wetting angle of the drop was tested after waiting for 20 seconds. The results of Table 4 were obtained.

Examples Wetting corner (o)
Comparative example 5 50.9
Comparative example 6 39.8
Example 5 15.1
Example 6 10.9
Comparative examples 7 to 2 40.2
As can be seen from table 4. The diaphragm of the comparative example 5 or 6 is made of polyethylene or polypropylene, so that the wettability of the diaphragm to the electrolyte is poor, the electrolyte is in a liquid drop state on the isolation surface, after the porous ceramic powder coating treatment is performed on the diaphragm, the electrolyte liquid quickly spreads on the isolation membrane to form a circle with a larger radius, and the wetting angle is rapidly reduced to be within 20 degrees, so that the wetting performance of the isolation membrane is greatly improved, and the wetting angle of the diaphragm of the comparative example 7-2 is larger despite the coating treatment, so that the pores on the surface of the coating are possibly sealed by the adhesive due to excessive addition of the adhesive, and the wetting and the diffusion of the organic electrolyte are not facilitated.

Table 5 example electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results for symmetric cells
Figure BDA0001707031720000201
Figure BDA0001707031720000211
As can be seen from table 5 and fig. 3, in comparative example 7-2, compared to comparative example 3, the ac impedance (938.7m Ω) and the dc impedance (1737.7m Ω) were not greatly reduced, while the semicircular rings of the separator not coated in comparative example were still preserved, indicating that the performance of the separator was not greatly changed by coating the ceramic powder that was not subjected to sealing treatment, and the effect of improving the internal resistance characteristics of the lithium ion battery was not achieved. The EIS curve corresponding to example 3 is greatly changed, and the semicircular ring disappears, which indicates that the ion channel characteristics of the symmetric battery are greatly improved, so that the ceramic isolation membrane of the present invention is favorable for improving the performance of the lithium ion battery.
